7 months completed already! Hush..! This year is really up to
something! I write the reflections every month and this time, there is this
Gratitude month going on, making me think why not?! It's the best combo one can
reflect upon. And I think everybody should do it once in a while.

So here goes my list for the month of July:

My
cook for being less absent this month. Yes on a very serious note, she's
the one who's absent most of the times. Gladly, this month she was quite
regular.

My
MIL had to leave the town for some personal stuff (hell No, that's not
what I am grateful for!), and thus comes the load all of the responsibilities
on my tiny shoulders. Getting the work done, managing the staff and
keeping a vigilant eye on everyone. Well, I know what you’re thinking.. it’s
not that tough, right? The tough part is getting everything done, without
being present! Having classes all day, makes it a bit handy, but I'm glad
I learnt it a bit.

Rains
this side is a sad state. The entire July had gone and I guess it only
rained may be for a day or two. Yeah, it’s that bad! The weather is mostly
sunny. But I am thankful for this little rain as well.

O
and how can I forget, The felicitation program. It was one of the best days
so far, this year. Getting inspired by others and being the reason behind
someone's inspiration is like a dream. My students performed really well
in the exams and I am so happy to have taught them.

The
new batch.. it was a bit handy for the first few days, given the strength
of the batch this time, but finally, things are falling in place. I guess hope
students are starting to like me getting along with me.

I am
so grateful to be a part of this Blog-A-Rhythm.. aka BAR group, which
seems so enthusiastic and so much full of energy. One of the best groups
I've been a part of! The people there and the discussions, the
activities.. everything just lightens me up..

I
took part in few of the writing challenges.. I did complete a few and left
a few. Left, not because I couldn't, but because, writing everyday for one
or two challenges compulsorily, was kind of bringing down the quality of
my blogpost (that is what I felt). I mean, writing just for the heck of
it, and submitting just because I have signed up for it.. I felt it was a
bit of injustice to it. I write when I enjoy doing it and I try my best to
make it readable for the readers and not just write anything and post it.
I hope that clears it.

I've
been eating like crazy these days. Odd cravings.. Happens with me most of
the times (No.. no pregnancy :P). That was a spoiler for a few times and savior as well for the rest of the times! I am thankful, for getting to
eat whatever I want. It makes me and people like us luckier than many.

A few dates with my girlfriends is always a delight. Also, I was able to
give my say to the place where I work. It happens with me many times,
where I feel very hesitant in saying something. Gladly, I was able to
voice my opinion.

Getting
to know a lot more bloggers. Plus knowing the fact, that
they too visit my blog! I feel grateful. :)

What did
you do all month? My list pretty much sums up everything! Drop in your links in
comments and I’ll surely visit and read your list of gratitude.

Such a lovely gratitude list! Cooks, drivers and other help make our lives easier and we must let them know from time to time how grateful we are for their services. MILs are a big help too, moral and emotional support, loved reading your list.
